BSC Newsletter 10th July 2018

Dear {{firstname}},

What a splendid sight those plucky Tideways were on Saturday at their annual open event, the Tideway Challenge. 22 boats, including visitors, headed out into the harbor to race and came back to a splendid tea at Cobnor and in time to watch the football (hurrah!), followed by a very jolly prizegiving and dinner at the club on a near perfect evening. There was a little less wind for the Sunday club racing but there was a good turnout of sailors for the Summer Series and the Optimist Gold Series.

Fingers crossed for Saturday and more perfect conditions for the Regatta. This event is one of the jewels in the BSC crown and looks set to be a splendid day’s racing so if you haven’t entered already you can do so here.

After a marvelous day, either on or off the water, on Saturday what could be better than partying on the terrace to a steel band with a delicious BBQ with a Caribbean twist? Book here.

We don’t want to jinx it but we will be showing the World Cup Final on the big screen on Sunday which starts at 16.00. Obviously, we hope that the right teams will be playing.

July 24th Advance notice for the Dinner at the Royal London Yacht Club during Classic Cowes Week. Open to all members - Cruiser and non-cruisers. Lovely club with fab views to watch the racing for the perfect day out. For those of you who are interested, if you could contact RC Cruisers on RCCruisers@boshamsailingclub.com Book here….

Front doors

We would like to make all members aware that the front doors of the clubhouse are now on a timed lock. This is for members safety and to stop non-members from using the clubhouse. So, we would like to advise all members to carry their red cards with them at all times for access into the building.
